[Bublu Bhuyan]

Where's Dubya?? Grow some balls and get out there son!

Nursing his injury, maybe.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Where's Dubya?? Grow some balls and get out there son!

Afraid of Roach?

 

[Amjid Javed]

And so Hussey's career ends.

WI made him, now WI have unmade him. Mr Cricket has become Mr Wicket. And Mr Wicket has buckley's chance of padding his average against Pakistan as Phil Hughes is going to be given a decent run in Tests now.

Well played Huss, but time to step aside now.

Would be a pretty Bold move if Huss is dropped for pakistan series. He still has a lot to offer the Aussie team as a batsmen.

[Afridi_Fan]

Going down leg. Not out.

 

[Seen Sheen]

If I were Benn,I would come around the wkt to make him drive through extra cover and look for the gap...

 

[OZGOD]

OMG where's Dubya??

 

[Afridi_Fan]

OMG where's Dubya??

Planning for Pakistan series? May be.

 

[OZGOD]

Apparently he has a tendon injury ***? I've had worse injuries than that playing rugby and I still played. Get out there Ricky. If it ain't broken you can bat!

 

[OZGOD]

Apparently he's suffering "significant pain" ***? I fractured ribs and still played rugby which is a contact sport, cricket isn't. Allan Border would've been out there! issed:

If this match goes into day 5. Windies will win it.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

345/8 at end of Day 3.

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I bowled well but Aussie batting was lame. This is not a 137/8 wicket.

I hope Gayle gets going tomorrow and W.I get this total!

 

[Oxy]

Australia 520/7d & 137/8 (47.0 ov)

West Indies 312

Australia lead by 345 runs with 2 wickets remaining

 

[abdul2009]

this is real silly batting is'nt it??
I would say aussies should pay the penality now by windies winning this!
They have taken the windies bowling too lightly IMO?
Heads will roll if they lose this!

 

[Random Aussie]

We really are rubbish these days. Sigh. Drop everyone but please drop Hussey twice.

Interesting day tomorrow, our bowlers are going to have to win this one for us. Gayle will have the opportunity to win the match by himself. Hmmm.

 

[abdul2009]

What started as a good series is gradually transforming into a howler for the aussies!
As an aussie fan i think if aussies do lose this one, heads should roll and there should be a complete change in the line up!! It's basically an embarrassment TBH :65:

 

[cricket_fever]

Its a bit bad of me, but i cant help hoping and wishing that the aussies collapse like this vs Pak on boxing day and later

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Guys do yall think beside Gayle the WI have the batting strength to win this, against a deteriorating wicket?..I think the chase will be tougher then some people think...I didn't see the match..how is th wicket behaving?

 

[12thMan]

I haven't watched the game yet but if I go with one of the matches last year at Perth then there can be good cracks (one inch wide) on the pitch

 

[mnoman15]

WI is gonna miss bug time Chanderpual ... Even if WI loses, its not that humiliating and they have provided good contest ...

Hope that Gayle could win this for game of cricket and reviving cricket in Caribbean region ... Cricket is not that attractive w/o competitive team from WI.

Loved Benn attitude the other day, I think Gayle should have more vocally supported Benn ...

still some movement there, and it is taking some spin now as well...as for can the Windies chase it? Hell No

 

[mmkextreme_1]

I see..but I really hope the WI chase the total down! Will be great!

 

[AZ]

indeed, that would be amazing

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Here is a word of wisdom for you my dear friend.

Never ever bet against West Indies and Pakistan.

and never bet on them too.

 

[Juggernaut]

I hope the Windie's can pull off a win.

I haven't been watching much of the series. The Aussies are 1-0 ahead right?

A drawn series would be great for the Windies especially the after the way they got slaughtered by the self-righteous Australian media at the end of the first test.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

still some movement there, and it is taking some spin now as well...as for can the Windies chase it? Hell No

Gayle my friend, can change the game. where's barath btw ??

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gayle my friend, can change the game. where's barath btw ??

Injured.

 

[fawdu]

I'm sorry but I have to correct your revisionist version of history indiafan..sachin made a fifty in the next match not the first test in which waqar played..waqar I believe bowled him out in that match and it was actually manjerkar who ensured a draw series not tendu..

This incident occurred in the fourth test played in Sialkot.

http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63516.html

They were rescued by Sidhu and Tendulkar, who stood firm in a century stand, even though the youngster was bounced repeatedly by the Pakistan pacemen.
